David Price said Tuesday that he feels healthy and isn't thinking about the opt-out in his contract.

Price appears determined for a rebound after being limited to 74 2/3 innings last season due to elbow issues. He also admitted Tuesday that he could have handled things better in regards to his interactions with the media. As far as the opt-out, he'd be passing over $127 million from 2019-2022. He'll be 33 years old in August and now has questions about the elbow, so it would probably take a pretty special year for it to be a real possibility. We're betting against it. Feb 13 - 12:15 PM

David Price (elbow) has already begun working out at JetBlue Park, the spring training home of the Red Sox in Fort Myers, Florida.

Price spends his winters in nearby Naples. He told Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe that he is raring to get back on track in 2018 after being limited to 74 2/3 regular-season innings last year. "No doubt I’ll be ready to go in Tampa [where the Red Sox open the season]," said the 32-year-old left-hander. "I feel strong in both [the elbow and arm]. I had a good offseason. I felt relaxed spending time with family, and it feels good. I started throwing earlier than normal but taking it slow this offseason. It’s felt good up to this point." Price is a high-risk, high-reward type of fantasy commodity for the upcoming campaign. Feb 7 - 9:17 AM

David Price was dominant in a relief effort on Sunday, firing four shutout innings in a critical victory over the Astros in Game 3 of the ALDS.

Price struck out four and walked one in the game. He came on in the fourth with the Red Sox leading 4-3 and shut down the Astros for four straight innings at a critical time in the Red Sox' season. He has been an unbelievable weapon to have in the bullpen thus far. Sun, Oct 8, 2017 06:20:00 PM

Drew Pomeranz lasted only two-plus innings and Carson Smith followed him by walking two of the three batters he faced. Price stemmed the tide after that, yielding only a bloop double and an intentional walk over his 2 2/3 scoreless frames, but by then it was pretty much too late. Since returning from the disabled list last month, Price has a 0.00 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 15/3 K/BB ratio over 11 1/3 innings. Fri, Oct 6, 2017 06:23:00 PM

Dustin Pedroia (knee) told reporters Saturday that he feels great and is no longer in any pain.

Pedroia noted that throughout the 2017 season, it hurt to get up and walk around, but that he could tell immediately after his surgery that the issue had been corrected. The Red Sox still plan to take things cautiously with him during spring training, but barring any setbacks there's a chance he could be ready for Opening Day.

Marco Hernandez (shoulder) will be eased into baseball activities at Red Sox camp.

Hernandez needed season-ending surgery last May on his left shoulder. His rehab has come along smoothly, but the Red Sox plan to play it safe with his workload early on this spring. The 25-year-old could see significant playing time at second base in April and part of May while Dustin Pedroia recovers from an October cartilage restoration procedure on his left knee.

Eduardo Rodriguez (knee) could join the Red Sox rotation by the end of April.

That's assuming he doesn't have any setbacks in his recovery from last October's right knee patellofemoral ligament reconstruction. It's been so far, so good, as Rodriguez has been long-tossing and says his knee feels "completely different." The hope is that he'll be ready for Grapefruit League action sometime in March before beginning a short rehab assignment.
